Astro::Coords::Elements - Specify astronomical coordinates using orbital elements
$c = new Astro::Coords::Elements( elements => \%elements );
This class is used by Astro::Coords for handling coordinates
specified as orbital elements.
Instantiate a new object using the supplied options.
$c = new Astro::Coords::Elements( elements => \%elements ); $c = new Astro::Coords::Elements( elements => \@array );
Returns undef on error.
The elements can be specified either by using a reference to an array
returned by the array() method of another elements object or in a
reference to a hash containing the following keys:
suitable for the major planets:
EPOCH = epoch of elements t0 (TT MJD) ORBINC = inclination i (radians) ANODE = longitude of the ascending node [$\Omega$] (radians) PERIH = longitude of perihelion [$\varpi$] (radians) AORQ = mean distance a (AU) E = eccentricity e AORL = mean longitude L (radians) DM = daily motion n (radians)
suitable for minor planets:
EPOCH = epoch of elements t0 (TT MJD) ORBINC = inclination i (radians) ANODE = longitude of the ascending node [$\Omega$] (radians) PERIH = argument of perihelion [$\omega$] (radians) AORQ = mean distance a (AU) E = eccentricity e AORL = mean anomaly M (radians)
suitable for comets:
EPOCH = epoch of elements t0 (TT MJD) ORBINC = inclination i (radians) ANODE = longitude of the ascending node [$\Omega$] (radians) PERIH = argument of perihelion [$\omega$] (radians) AORQ = perihelion distance q (AU) E = eccentricity e EPOCHPERIH = epoch of perihelion T (TT MJD)
See the documentation to slaPlante() and slaPertel() for more information. Keys must be upper case.
For comets if the only one epoch is specified it is assumed that the epochs are identical. This may cause problems if the epochs are not really close to each other.
In order to better match normal usage, EPOCH can also be specified as a string of the form 'YYYY mmm D.frac' (e.g. '1997 Apr 1.567'). (no decimal place after the month). This is the format used by JPL.
Returns the hash containing the elements.
%el = $c->elements;
Return back 11 element array with first element containing the string "ELEMENTS", the next two elements as undef and up to 8 following elements containing the orbital elements in the order presented in the documentation of the constructor.
This method returns a standardised set of elements across all types of coordinates.
Note that for JFORM=3 (Comet) case the epoch of perihelion is stored as the 8th element (the epoch of the elements is still returned as the first element) [corresponding to array index 10]. This usage of the final element can be determined by noting that the element before it (AORL) will be undefined in the case of JFORM=3. If AORL is defined then the Epoch of perihelion will not be written even if it is defined.
Returns the generic type associated with the coordinate system. For this class the answer is always "RADEC".
This is used to aid construction of summary tables when using mixed coordinates.
It could be done using isa relationships.
Stringify overload. Returns comma-separated list of the elements.
Return a one line summary of the coordinates. In the future will accept arguments to control output.
$summary = $c->summary();
Return the apparent RA and Dec (as two Astro::Coords::Angle
objects) for the current coordinates and time. Includes perterbation
corrections to convert the elements to the required epoch.
Returns empty list on error.
Radial velocity of the planet relative to the Earth geocentre.
Velocity definition. Always 'RADIO'.
Velocity reference frame. Always 'GEO'.
Usually called via Astro::Coords.
Useful sources of orbital elements can be found at http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov and http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/
Astro::SLA is used for all internal astrometric calculations.
